Well, here it is. After lots of computer troubles that just ended in formatting my entire hard drive, I have finally created this blog about my summer working for Millcreek Nursery in Edmonton. I have been taking lots of photos, which I will share now.
Early in the year, while the trees are still dormant, the staff rush to get all the trees dug they can. Once they leaf out they cannot be dug or it will damage the tree. The process involves using a spade on a Bobcat to sever the roots and lift the tree from the hole so that it can be placed in a metal basket lined with burlap for easy transport and delivery. However, sometimes a tree gets too big and we have to call in a larger spade to get rid of it.
Hey, thanks for the great start!! Iam in Germany this week, so it was a nice surprise to see your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am busy looking at castles for a bit, then will spend some time at some schools that train horticulture apprenticeship students. So am looking forward to seeing some of the technology that is used over here.
